Webflow Pages Plugin: Updating WordPress with New Collection and Page Made in Webflow

I would like to know about the SEO doesn’t link as well? It is because it crawl from API?

Hello @alvinyang. I actually left the branding alone. I poked around in settings and see that my project has the settings off (Look partway down the page under “General Settings” for your project), but a “Made in Webflow” badge does appear in the lower right corner of my pages where I’ve used the plugin. I don’t know how to change that via configuration.

@alvinyang - SEO content configured in Webflow seems to port over. When you do a “View Source” on your published page on WordPress, look at what is tags like “”. Do you see what you configured in Webflow?

Answer re: badges from @webdev:

nope, it not reflected. I use site: example.com to check, It’s not showing. Is yours showing?

@alvinyang - Yes.

Do you have a shareable Webflow project link and a link to your live site that you can share?

strange? :frowning:

i am pro user :slight_smile: but it seems the badge still showing

@AlvinYang - I looked at a few of your Webflow pages and didn’t see many of the SEO values explicitly entered.

If it was me, I would turn off the check box for re-using an earlier value and put in unique text for several of the fields, update, and then see if you are able to see the text you entered in the meta information on your WordPress site. If you are then able to see values, then that would suggest an issue with pulling in defaults, but that manual works.

I’d also double check to make sure that there aren’t any WordPress related SEO plugins that could be doing something somewhere. From what I was looking at from the WordPress site, there seemed to be some SEO content that I wasn’t seeing entered in on your shareable Webflow project.

I haven’t tried to remove the badge, so that’s a question for someone else.

thanks for your advice

Hi, I’ve been following this, and have a few questions. Please forgive my questions if they are too simple:

  • Once you have mapped all of your pages from webflow to wordpress, do updates to the front end design within Webflow update within Wordpress as well without remapping?
  • Can I essentially continually update the front end of a site by designing it and mapping it to Wordpress, while using all of the backend functionality (and plugins) of Wordpress?

Or am I missing something?

@John_McGinnis - My apologies for the slow response.

Yes - As you update in Webflow, you can have the changes appear on your WordPress site for pages that are mapped. I didn’t encounter a need to remap.

Example using the “Style Guide” page that comes with Webflow created templates:

Top shows a screenshot taken from a WordPress site. Bottom shows same page after making a few quick mods in Webflow.

I haven’t used this arrangement extensively, but it seems to work if you are looking to map pages and not dynamic content. I did need to publish the Webflow site to obtain the changes, but then unpublished after my WordPress site had the latest content.

A use case for this set-up that comes to mind: Quickly building out landing pages and updating them.

Depending on what you are looking to do, this approach may or may not work for you.

Another option: I’ve also experimented a bit with products offered by Udesly and PineGrow that take designs created in Webflow and makes it possible to transform them into WordPress themes. I’m really liking my results thus far using PineGrow. You create your design in Webflow, export the HTML, import the HTML into their software and then specify by element what data should display. It’s allowing me to create designs for my custom post types easily. You then export the design and add to your WordPress site and activate the theme. When you make changes in Webflow to the design, you export and re-import. As long as you didn’t delete an item that was previously tagged, PineGrow remembers mappings so you are not starting from scratch.

@Zia_ul_Mustafa_Danis - Welcome to the Webflow forum.

I’ve made a quick video showing a freshly created Webflow site being connected to a new WordPress site.

Questions:

  • Did you create an “About Us” page on your WordPress site? Has it been published?
  • If you just created it and then tried to make the connection, did you wait for the cache to update?

If you are not sure of the exact URL for a page, there are several ways to figure it out. One is by looking at the URL in your browser’s address bar. Another way is as follows (but will not work in cases involving custom post types, for example):

From the Admin Interface, go to Posts. There should be a “Quick Edit” button. Click it and look at the slug.

@ColleenBrady Hi, Thank you so much. You are very helpful and cooperative. Its a very good way to share your knowledge with others (step by step). once again thanks alot. :blush:

@ColleenBrady one more thing I want know if possible for you to guide me.
Is it possible to display a “wordpress page” on “integrated webflow website”?
I mean that at the same time when we are using “webflow pages” plugin, is it possible to publish wordpress page at webflow integrated website?

Short answer is no. However, your could frame the Wordpress page (IFRAME) or use Ajax.

Long answer is yes, ish, but in reverse. I’m hosting a wordpress site which fetches my Webflow page through the plugin. I’ve made a wordpress theme which mirrors my article looks, and by using the same url structure for the blog posts I’ve in effect slapped on a second database to get around the 10k item limit of Webflow. This way all my webflow hosted pages are displayed when someone goes to their URL, and the wordpress hosted (webflow looking) pages are displayed when their URLs are used. I’ve set up a script that unloads older articles to the wordpress database as new ones are written.
